Yes I agree, now. Liked the contract for first 10 minutes after it was announced, then thought better of it.

Darn, I would have taken Kadri on that contract. I know it would push him to 38 years old, but still, $7mm for a player of Kadri ability should be very good value for first half of it.

Hope it was just food poisoning like Bob Mackenzie speculated. This sounds good, if it’s the latest.

And until he found out that Kim had already confessed about Howard, he seemed prepared to throw her under the bus. Not to save himself, he had already done that by negotiating it down to 7 years, but for ice cream. Still angry and frustrated by that last call with Kim and thinking she got away with everything, he was about to gratuitously stick it to her. Once he found out that she had come clean, thanks in no small part to his goading of her on that call, he knew what he had to do. Too late to repair things with Chuck even if he wanted to, too late to apologize to Howard, but not too late to gain back some respect from Kim. But I believe he would not have done so if she had not shown up to the courtroom to hear him in person.

Ahh, I didn't even realize Edvinsson also pitches for the Tigers.

I liked the bus chanting and feet stomping. Reminded me of “We Want A Hit” in the lower deck in left at my first games at Tiger Stadium in the ‘70s.

Before I read what anyone else says…I will say I am very satisfied.

I’m counting on it running right until 10:37 but I could see it ending sooner. 20 minutes or less left.

Walter White must have coined the term “stay in your lane”.

Was it known that Marie Schader was going to be on? I don’t really go to the blogs that talk about upcoming stuff like that.

Here we go.

Actually 7-24, so 7 of 31, but that is still brutal. And started 9-23. So just one short 51-game stretch of decent 27-24 ball in the middle.

I'd be willing to trade Cossa if it helped land someone important. Goalies are too much of a wildcard. No guarantee he'll ever be as good as Husso or Ned even.

If the Tigers had won a World Series between 2006-2014 , I’d have felt the only one I need in the rest of my lifetime is the Super Bowl for the Lions. Anything else would have been gravy, as the Wings, Pistons and Michigan have all won it all within last 25 years.

So far, this is my favorite season of BCS, by far, and I expect the finale to confirm that feeling for me.

So do I.

I think the call blew up too quickly for it to be Kim. That would be out of line with what we know about their past relationship. The only way I can see Jimmy reacting that way with Kim is if she told him that the feds are putting the squeeze on her, as his ex-wife, and that by refusing to talk she has suffered consequences which she is fine with. Like he got angry when hearing from Francesca about the Feds finding the other sources of income. Maybe still technically married to him and had some assets seized? My guess is that someone else came on the line and told Jimmy that Kim has left the company and they are not going to give him a forwarding number on her. And maybe, like someone else theorized, that the sprinkler company”s number is now a controlled line. I don’t believe Francesca told Jimmy she works at a sprinkler company, did she? Only that she was asking about him? So he must have had some contact with her over the years?

Exactly. I’m gunshy after the Tigers’ active offseason that seemed to advance them

Yeah that’s an ugly contract the second half of the term. From a writer at The Atlantic:

To me, Breaking Bad is like The Sopranos, BCS is like Mad Men. Pace and character development-wise.

One thing he didn't do though in that outing. I don't believe he actually walked a batter. Maybe he can start off next time by walking the bases loaded.

So how long has Gene been living in Nebraska during this week's episode? Is it 6 months after he was vacuumed? 1 year? 2 years?

Not sure how much longer Canada will be allowed given the 2003 and 2018 gangbang allegations
